In the first book and continuing into book two of the Zenobia series, we experience education in the 3rd century as Zenobia travels to Alexandria, Egypt. One of the classes that she takes is Critical Thinking taught by Cassius Dionysius Longinus. Historically this may not have happened, but what we do know is Zenobia was very educated and spoke many languages. She also displayed the ability to use critical thinking as she became queen and challenged Rome for supremacy of the region.
The New York Times has a challenge a day on Critical thinking. This is a great way to broaden your education like Zenobia did. Click on the link and let your critical thinking class begin. http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/30/new-feature-test-yourself-critical-thinking/
